The Husky Runner Build (2021 TRD Pro)

[Annolino122]

I love it. What were you quoted for the lead time on the Icon Stage 7?

we were quoted 12-16 weeks, we are at 25 weeks and told another 4-5 weeks...

But I have seen Kings taking up to 8-9 months to get, so I would assume that's our timeframe at this point.

I was waiting for this post, glad you helped him (YS) understand your scenario.
Makes sense to me.

Oh, most everyone caught that you were not a “bro” from your post.

Looking forward to your build.

There is always a reason for what people do, just have to ask!

And yes haha my husband has a 2008 V8 he works on and built, I've always loved that thing, and wanted to build an overlanding TRD Pro of my own. He helps lead me down the right path on some decisions but this is my build :boxer:

I would agree a lot of people do that, but we did not. Husband works for Toyota of North America, we paid an employee pricing on this vehicle! Also let me help you understand. The stock suspension will not allow for 34" tires, or can be adjusted depending on what you're doing. So i can spend $5.5k on Icon Stage 7 + Wheels and turn around and sell my TRD Pro suspension tires/wheels/suspension for over $3k. You are telling me for $2k you wouldnt want a full Icon Stage 7 Kit, Icon Wheels, and 34" tires?

Also calling me a bro, I appreciate your sexism but I am not a bro :bravo:

Epic response! I took off the TRD Pro suspension and put in on my 2018 SR5 daily driven 4runner. No need to spread aggressive vibes... :boxing: We are all adults, we can spend money however we want! I bought the pro for the color... :hatsoff:

Wow looks fantastic and quite husky friendly! Good call on the harnessing system in the back. A buddy of mine's dog jumped out the back window once going about 30mph or so but luckily managed only some scrapes and a concussion! Dogs are wild sometimes!

That's why we have the system, he has jumped out before. Also heard a horror story of someone's dog squeezing out on a family trip at 70mph. My heart melted. They need to be as safe as us!

Thank you! The 4th Gen has a stage 2 Icon Kit and we absolutely love it, which is why i was confident going with the bigger kit. Also went 3" rear springs to help with added weight

And yes, they are amazing!

I tried to do some research on this, but I figured you might know. What is the difference in the Stage 7 & Stage 8 Icon setups for our 4Rs? Parts list looks identical unless I am missing something.

Our Pro's are twins, minus all the mods haha, awesome build you have going on, looking forward to more, I'll for sure use it as my inspiration since its also in MGM!

I asked my husband haha the rear struts are their Omega struts. So it has 33 levels (check the # I'm not 100%) of adjustment due to the bypasses vs the 11 levels of adjustment (both are the adjustable shocks).

I would assume it just adds a level of control I nor most people would ever use haha

Not biased but I absolutely love this color! And thank you!

Thank you both for the info!! That makes sense.

Viper Cuts & BMC chop getting ready for Suspension/Tires

To fit 285/75/17 (34") mud tires you need to get a BMC chop and do some high clearance cuts.

Well I really like the look of the C4Bumper and in preparation for getting something like kt, fitting 34" tire, and changing the look of the front end I got the viper cuts done.

Oh also got my plates in

Husband said he's not overly impressed with the welds on the BMC and how much they had to fill the area but the shop guranteed itll fit 35" tires and this is what they've had to do in the past.

Update on Suspension

Was told yesterday by ICON Vehicle Dynamics that icon stage 7 kit will be another 8-10 weeks, due to material shortage (guessing aluminum).

So far, we are at 27 weeks, I'm guessing the beginning of 2022 we might get it

Next Addition to the Toyota Family

I know this is a thread about my 4Runner build but my husband sent me this saying "Our next Toyota is a unit"

The welds look a little sloppy... but all that matter is that it holds

Love your plate btw! Nice work. Bumper cuts look sick... i've been tempted to make my cuts, but the c4 bumper and bumper cut pieces are supposed to arrive next week... but these days who knows lol. 10 more weeks for the suspension... bummer but it is what it is these days. From what I was told all the suppliers are having issues sourcing the shafts for the shocks.

Exactly! Not a huge deal

I'm jealous! c4 bumper and hi clearance cut pieces are next on the list.

It really sucks but can't do much about it. On a good note I got my shipping confirmation for my roof rack so that's going to be nice!

We dont have our roof rack yet! but we mounted it to a friends and its pretty comfy, roof rack comes next week & we will be taking a camping trip ASAP

 

[Annolino122]

Waiting on some parts for the roof rack but so far it looks amazing!

We got a Southern Style OR Washer Fluid Reservoir Cover and it cleans up the viper cuts so much
